Support for Ross

With thanks

To the editor: Area Veterans were recipients of the wonderful generosity of the Leland charter boat fleet this past Wednesday. I was on-board a boat with a very able Captain who worked hard to assure that all of us had a great time on the water. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

The Hamptons?

To the editor: Is Leland Township ready to become the “Hamptons” of the Midwest according to the Delamar Hotel in TC? Are we ready for helicopter tours starting June 15 from the Delamar Hotel, buzzing their wealthy guests around Leland to look over our beautiful serene setting? Never mind the noise of a chopper hovering along the Lake Michigan coastline admiring the Hampton like qualities of the homes there, it’s part of the fun of being the Hamptons!! Ignore the sound and interruption of our peaceful ambiance as a helicopter drops in for a landing at the Dunebird Winery on what was stated to be a private, personal landing strip. Enjoy the sound and vibrations of the helicopter as it roars to full power on takeoff as it journey’s on to show its well heeled patrons how the rest of us live. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

Flag represents all

Flag represents all

To the editor: Last Thursday, June 6, I watched the ceremonies at the Normandy American Cemetery in France, honoring the events of eighty years ago. Flying above the graves of the 9,388 American soldiers buried there I saw our flag- the proud symbol of our nation. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

Solar works

To the editor: Contrary to the recent forum by John Popa, my wife and I have relied on our solar arrays for several years now with satisfying results. With three separate installations we rarely have net loss in our monthly bills. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

Conflict of interest?

Conflict of interest?

To the editor: Questions were asked at a recent Leelanau County Board of Commissioners meeting about a possible conflict of interest. Thequestionwas raised because an individual wrote a proposal for state funding and included an administrative oversight of the grant for two members of the task force. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

Free clean energy is good energy

Free clean energy is good energy

To the editor: For the record, Leelanau County actually rates pretty well for solar energy. Germany is further north than we are, and they generate over 10% of their country’s electricity from solar. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

Solar works

To the editor: In his editorial last week, Mr Popa’s confident negativity regarding solar energy in Michigan seems so convincing that only the foolish would wander there — that is until you know the facts. Here are just a few facts from the Solar Energy Industries Association. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

Newcomers perspective

Newcomers perspective

To the editor: As a newcomer to Leelanau County, I want to highlight the vital role Parenting Communities played in integrating families like mine into the community. Beyond the documented evidence which underlines the program’s efficacy on improving parenting skills and connecting families to resources, they offer a priceless human touch. 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

Possible gubernatorial candidates for 2026

There are, give or take, about 550 days before Michigan voters pick a new governor, so you might be asking yourself why am I about to waste my time on a column on whom might be the next governor in November 2026? 06/12/2024 05:52 PM

Friend, fisherman fondly remembered

Hugh Farber was a soft-spoken man with a spine. I miss him. 06/05/2024 08:28 PM
